@darling_luna: *Stab*
What Lightsaber Form would you use?
Form IV: Ataru - Acrobatic, aggressive offensive form. Focuses on speed and physical agility.
I like this, sounds closest to one of our mantras: Speed, surprise, and violence of action.
Still Makashi - my favorite style. Second might be Niman, but I haven't decided.
Probably this. I don't think Soresu is a poor style either. I would probably pick Shii-Cho last, though.
Shien/Djem So

That actually sounds like a pretty cool motto :P

I think you'd be more of a Juyo/Vaapad man, Granite. Ataru is one of the most elegant and intricate forms and many describe the acrobatics as unnecessary and a waste of energy. Juyo on the other hand focuses on bold, direct movements, but completely erratic and unpredictable at the same time. Strength and power are the main factors. It's a fighting style of absolute offence, more so than any other form. The goal of Juyo is to end the fight as quickly as possible, usually lethally. And it's also fueled heavily by volatile emotions like anger, fear or even hate. Vaapad however is essentially Jedi Juyo (since the Jedi outlawed Juyo because of how dark it was), and allows you to channel your own darkness in order to serve the Light, or the "greater good" so to speak.
Sounds right up your alley if you ask me :p
@i_like_swords: I actually like the sound of that Vaapad it is!
Shien/Djem So.
Though truthfully speaking, I would rather use the lightsaber form both Luke and Vade shares, which is an off-shoot of Djem So/Shien which incorparates methods from each and every lightsaber form.
@shootingnova: @jedixman: @dccomicsrule2011: You don't actually have to be physically menacing to use Djem So right? Cause Jedi can use the force to enhance their strength? Luke was only 5'6 and he's about as short/shorter than Ahsoka and they both use Djem So...

Indeed you don't have to. Your own physical attributes are of course very important, but Jedi's physical strength comes equally from the control, direction and focus of the Force energy flowing through you - it's the Control area of the three basic areas of Force abilities. Of course, if you're weak in terms of natural strength, you simply need more Force power, to the point where it's simply not very effective, as you need to multiply it. In case of most Jedi, it's also a very subtle "boost", as with most things related to Force influence.
Still, you can see strength feats of Darth Sidious, Darth Plagueis, Anakin Skywalker - the strength they were capable of far exceeds peak human capacity and the Force is most important factor. Of course, you have to include that there's a difference between such powerhouses and most above-average Jedi, but that's another topic.
@spartankobe: What @Jkbart: said.
Also, my notification system is busted, so I never even got this in my inbox.
@laflux: It's one of the better unofficial ones we use.
Hit'em hard, hit'em fast, and don't stop.
@dccomicsrule2011: Mine is busted too. I did not even know you replied to me.
Probably Niman, supplemented by Djem-So. Which covers use of the force in combat, an almost perfect balance (since Niman is a balance between styles and Djem-So is the most balanced between offense and defense), it covers blaster fire (through Shien) and Djem-So could cover for the weaknesses Niman might have against a pure dueling form such as Makashi.
If I were to look at things from a pure dueling perspective, I would probably practice Makashi supplemented by Soresu, especially since if I ever became old, fatigue would almost never be a problem with these forms and I think they would suit each other nicely, being perfect for both defense and offense against most other forms.
